A great opportunity to “discover the meaning of life”. It is very informal. Light refreshments are followed by a 30 minute presentation on a specific subject, such as “What about suffering?” or “Can we trust the Bible?” People then move to into their small groups to discuss the subject further in the context of what they’ve heard.

There is no pressure on anyone to say anything, and no-one has to pray or sing either, and ‘Alpha’ is FREE. Some people want to make a small contribution towards the food, and that’s fine. There are also a small selection of books available for purchase.
